Nice campground on Tombigee River. There's a really nice paved walking path. Check old Antbellum home on your way there, beautiful place!

We camp at Dewayne Hayes about 6 times a year. We like it a lot. Except the grass is not cut often enough it was at least halfway up to your knees in some places. They did cut it two days before we left. When we went in Feb. I went to one of the bathhouses and there was a man in the women’s bathroom. I reported it to one of the park hosts but all they could tell me was that they would have to let the park rangers know the next day. I felt like they didn’t want to be bothered with it. I’m sure they would have felt differently if a small child had gone in to the bathroom with a man in there. The park ranger did call my husband at work the next day but never came to talk to me at all and I was at our campsite all day long. Just a very scary situation all the way around.

It is a great park; extremely clean and quiet. If you're looking for a swimming pool, outdoor movies, organized activities, and wifi, this is not your campground. But if you want natural beauty, lots of trees and space between campsites, quiet, and natural beauty alongside a nice river, DeWayne Hayes is definitely your spot.

Campground is great quiet and peaceful. We were at site 68 which was a little short for our 36’ fifth wheel and room to park truck but we made it alright. Bath houses were clean and tidy. I did not notice any warning of wildlife but we had raccoons invading our outdoor cooking space so be sure and store your griddle at night. We will be back.

Dewayne Hayes was out of sites with sewer hookups. I think only 5 sites have the hookups. So book early if sewer hookups are a must. I went ahead and rented a campsite. All was good, clean, quiet and I had accessibleity to the waterway. Probabally never happen. But would be nice if more sewer hookups up were added. The Dump was available when I was leaving, so no big problem, Just a small inconvienience.
